Join Cline House Gallery for a free screening of three NFB films representing art on screen. Featuring:

Bone, Wind, Fire (Jill Sharpe | 2011 | 30 mins)

This Emmy-nominated feature film is an intimate and evocative journey into the hearts, minds and eyes of Georgia O’Keeffe, Emily Carr and Frida Kahlo – 3 of the 20th century’s most remarkable artists. The film uses the women’s own words, taken from their letters and diaries, to reveal 3 individual creative processes in all their subtle and fascinating variety.

June ( Munro Ferguson | 2003 | 6 mins )

Made in memory of Canadian artist and filmmaker Joyce June Wieland, June is a hand-drawn stereoscopic animation by NFB animator, Munro Ferguson. It is like a three-dimensional abstract painting that moves. June is Munro’s attempt to capture what it was like for him to know Joyce. Part 1, “Alzheimer’s”, is about the end of her life. Part 2, “Memory”, is about what she was like during the height of her creative powers.

The Other Side of the Picture (Teresa MacInnes | 1998 | 52 mins)

This feature documentary tackles the question: “are there no great women artists?” The statistics are confounding: at Washington’s National Gallery only 1 in every 30 paintings is by a woman. In Canada, women account for a mere 8 percent of the National Gallery’s collection. This thought-provoking film takes us into the homes and studios of artists such as Mary Pratt, Joyce Weiland, Jane Ash Poitras and Landon Mackenzie, who address the question of inequality in the art world.
